Private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu, has criticized the continued detention of NPP’s Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, urging that due process must be followed to secure his release.
Kpebu emphasized that Abronye’s alleged offense did not warrant prolonged custody.
“Abronye doesn’t have to be in custody for even one week.
“Today, the right process can be filed, the judge can sit today and grant Abronye bail. If we don’t speak up, it will grow and become worse,” he cautioned.
While making clear his disapproval of Abronye’s controversial statement, Kpebu maintained that such remarks should be treated as misdemeanours rather than grounds for excessive punishment.
“We have grown past the communist inferior tactics. I am not for one moment supporting the despicable comment by Abronye, but these are misdemeanours,” he said.
Kpebu further urged the authorities to act swiftly in addressing the matter, warning that the current approach undermines public expectations of fairness in governance.
“Ayine is stepping so that latest by Monday, Abronye should be out. This is not what we voted you guys to come in and do,” he stressed.
